: if you looked at their performance figures: the new M3 is only .1 second faster to 62mph, lending credence to their idea that a 1600lb. cruiser needs a diet.

: the article also seemed skeptical of the new car's performance because why else would they mention that bmw will release a lightweight version? it's troubling that they would need a lightweight version to break the 5 second barrier.

: thanks, but i'll just keep my M coupe then.

So even with the extra weight, the U.S gets a significant improvement in quickness. Can understand it's a tougher decision for those with euro engine already... I probably would wait too if I had the euro in the E36.
